The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.

We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.

Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.

Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!

Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.

If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.

To cut a long story short, this is still Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza ... but Holy Shit!?

They turn into an absolute monster of an avant-psych funk machine. There is so much to love here. You all know Ennio Morricone from his soundtrack work, but the way he rips the arse out of his trumpet? I'd never before considered that a trumpet could be violated in such a way. But, the drums of Vincenzo Restuccia? Oh my word! Recorded up front and central and if you haven't heard this before (and you are not dead inside) then he will push all of your buttons.

Given the time of it's recording, socially, politically and culturally, you can place this into a broader context but this could only ever be Italian.

Originally released on vinyl in 1970, this is the remastered CD version courtesy of Schema from 2014.
